FoFi^Chei: Help me pick a polearm?
Hi! This is a pretty promising character, but I'm at a spot where I need to make a weapon decision.
In a nutshell, I've got a weak trident with all the resists I need, the Glaive of Prune, or an electric bardiche. Here's each:
-a - the +7,+8 trident of Dominance (weapon) {flame, rElec rC++ rN+ Int+3}
c - a +6,+7 bardiche of electrocution
w - the +4,+12 Glaive of Prune {chop}
The trident has been adequate to do Elf:3, Crypt:5, and the welcoming party of Vaults:5, but not comfortably.
Character dump below. What to use? Thanks!
